MarioWiki:Appeals

This page is an appeal system for reminders, warnings, and last warnings. If you feel you have wrongly received a reminder or a warning, follow the instructions below to appeal the reminder/warning to the administrators. Please keep discussions civil.

Archived appeals can be found here. This page observes the no-signature policy.

Notes

If you feel that you have been wrongfully given a reminder and/or warning, you can have your case heard here. Please read through the "How to" and the "Rules" carefully. Please note that both the users appealing the reminder/warning and the users who issued the reminder/warning are given a chance to present the administrators with reasons to rule in their favor. However, said comments can only be edited once; this will not expand into lengthy, back-and-forth arguments such as the ones found in proposal comments and talk page discussions.

Rules

1. No case can be heard more than once. Once a decision is made, that decision is final.
2. If the reminder or warning you issued is overturned, do not re-add it, or it will be removed immediately, and you may be reprimanded yourself if the administrators feel it is necessary.

How to

This is an example of what your appeal should look like; improperly formatted appeals will be deleted. If you are inexperienced or unsure how to set up this format, simply copy the following and paste it into the "Cases" section. Then replace the "[subject]" variables (including the squared brackets) with the proper information.

===[Your username here]===
*[Insert link to reminder/warning from your talk page]
====[Your username here]====
*[Insert your comments on why the reminder/warning was unnecessary]
====[The issuer of the warning's username here]====
*[Insert your comments on why the reminder/warning was necessary (this section is for the issuer only)]
----

Important: After posting your appeal, make sure that you use {{appeal notice}} to inform the issuer that their warning/reminder is under dispute.

• Although I acknowledge that my edits were not officially confirmed, there were recent edits to the Mario Kart World image gallery indicating that the names of two character costumes had been officially confirmed to be “Explorer.” While I have been advised not to modify costume descriptions without official confirmation, I misinterpreted the newly added image gallery, which suggested that the costume names had been confirmed. I apologize for any misinformation I may have inadvertently disseminated. Considering that the character costumes were subsequently given to additional characters with confirmed names (e.g., Baby Luigi Work Crew and Baby Mario Work Crew), I believe that, despite not being officially confirmed by Nintendo, the costumes are essentially identical with only a simple recolor. Therefore, I find it somewhat arbitrary to impose restrictions on certain costumes. I do not intend to express any disrespect towards the moderators’ decisions. However, I believe that the warning issued is excessive, given that I was previously advised against adding unconfirmed names. This specific edit arose from a misunderstanding with the image gallery and the provided images, which implied that the names had been officially confirmed. I fully take responsibility for my actions and will no longer edit costume names without official confirmation. Nevertheless, I believe that the warning was overly harsh and should be reevaluated by moderators to fully comprehend my misunderstanding in this situation. Once again, I apologize for the unofficial edits and will refrain from editing costumes, regardless of their visibility. While I am committed to contributing to the wiki in any way possible, I feel that my efforts are being disregarded and devalued, which is disheartening. I aspire to become an administrator on the wiki, but I believe that the warning may hinder this goal. I appreciate the moderators’ efforts in preventing the spread of misinformation. However, the manner in which some moderators address me regarding these issues feels more like reprimanding than kindly requesting greater caution when making edits without sources. I do not intend to initiate any conflicts, but I believe that my feelings should be acknowledged and addressed by the moderators on the wiki. Thank you for considering my appeal, and I reiterate my apologies for the unofficial edits.

• I didn't realise you were basing the edit off of the gallery page, and I can see how it can be misinterpreted as being the "official" names. However, the warning was not only for that edit, but also another before it (which also followed my previous message(s) regarding the costume names). As it happened twice since then, I issued a warning per the warning policy, specifically for false information. Can you explain the first edit?

• Indeed, I can assist with that. After my edits were initially reverted, the Baby Mario (Work Crew) alternate character had been given a “conjectural name.” I subsequently modified the descriptions to align with the “conjectural name” format to prevent the dissemination of misinformation. I believe I only edited the characters with identical costumes to enhance the page’s visual appeal. However, I acknowledge my oversight in not fully comprehending the practice of “conjectural names.” Regardless, I fully take responsibility for my actions. If you believe the warning remains valid, I will accept it and move forward to prevent further disruptions to the wiki.
